Principal component analysis and perturbation theory–based robust damage detection of multifunctional aircraft structure [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental problem in structural damage detection is to define an efficient feature to calculate a damage index. Furthermore, due to perturbations from various sources, we also need to define a rigorous threshold whose overtaking indicates the ...
